Give Me a Chance? [Niam] [boyxboy]

Part 4

"NIALL! STOP EATING MATE!" Zayn screeched when he saw me in the corner of the kitchen, stuffing myself with a tub of ice cream. I already finished more than half of the pantry. The ice cream looked too tempting to leave it for last. 

"Shut up and leave me alone," I grumbled, feeling sorry for myself. Food is my only love. I nodded happily like a drunk person. I would have drank but didn't feel like making myself more depressed with beer. 

"Oh Niall lad, what happened? I saw Liam run out of the house and his eyes were red." He approached me cautiously as if he was afraid I might run away from fast movements. I couldn't even get up from the floor if I wanted to. 

I shook my head vigorously. "I'm not telling you," I sang and went back to my delicious ice cream. 

I heard Zayn groan and he soon left me. I sighed in relief but the sweet moment was soon lost because he brought the forces in.

"Wow you look like crap and we just saw you like an hour ago," Louis said, trying to make me smile. 

"Thanks," I muttered, rolling my eyes. "But I'm not in the mood for our pointless banter right now."

"Holy shit, this is serious!"

"No shit Lou," Zayn grunted and knelt by me. "Poor Niall, our innocent leprechaun." He stroke my hair gently while I willed myself not to cry. 

Harry let out a shaky breath and shook his curly looks to the side. "I kinda understand what's going through Liam's mind, Niall. He's doubting himself and doesn't know what the hell he wants. So he pushes you away because he doesn't want to lead you on and hurt you more in the long run. I know its hard but try to talk to him and if it doesn't work out then let bygones be bygones. It'll be ok Niall," Harry finished with a grim smile.

I let a few tears escape and wiped them away instantly. I told myself I couldn't cry. I nodded my head curtly and shove the tub into Zayn's arms. 

"Might as well talk to him now so I can go wallow in my room when I'm done." Louis was about to open his mouth but I cut him off. "Don't worry I'll return back to normal when I'm done mourning over my unrequited love."

I was appalled at how strong and confident I sounded to them when all I wanted is for them to leave me alone so I can finish Zayn's food. 

I waved them goodbye and headed towards the door. Liam was probably at home by now.

Liam's P.O.V. 

I paced back and forth. I am such an arsehole!

Stupid! Stupid! 

Why did I have to say that to him? I knew I wouldn't be able to see his heartbroken face and yet I still went ahead and said those cruel words to him. 

I groaned loudly and plopped onto the couch. 

Niall probably hated my guts by now. 

But I had to right? I wasn't sure about my feelings yet so I couldn't just pretend that I love him just so he can stay with me. I didn't want him to wait for me to solve whatever puzzle is going on in my head either. I just couldn't hurt Niall. So I thought ending it instantly would cause the least pain.

But his face when I told him still flashes in my mind. 

Stop please!

I held my head tightly, squeezing my eyes closed.
